After leaving company a bad review instead of the owner or manager finding out what really happened, or that his workers were yelled at by the property manager for there behavior, or where the communication fell down with amount of stuff, or how it didn't fit in truck. I was accussed of having drugs there. And threatened with having cops here for there safety when getting the remaining items. I thought the owner Greg was very nice till he took his 2 movers side before investigating what happened. He new they were suppose to pack some things but brought no boxes, cussed him out., but that same boss yells at me. I left when movers arrived so yell at your movers or tell me what there side is and if it's there were drugs and paraphernalia there it's a straight up lie. Only opiods or paraphernalia there I'm prescribed. I just hope nobody gets the same 2 jerks they sent me. read more

Dishonest and Unprofessional!! I had a move conducted on July 13th and drivers arrived late by 15-20 minutes late, took a cigarette break while conducting move but what was more upsetting was them breaking a cabinet that had to be thrown away and they submitted for insurance claim, which I am still waiting for after 7 business days. What was further disappointing, dishonest and unprofessional was they broker a desk as well but kept quiet about it and did not tell me. I did not notice until they had left and i was looking for the desk and attempted to reach the driver to see if it was left in the truck and he ignored my texts. I then emailed and called the company and left correspondence and asked for them to be held accountable. I then noticed the drivers had broken the desk and threw it out in the dumpster along with the broken cabinet, so i took pics and emailed them to the company. The company contacted me to tell me, it was not left in the truck, which I already knew, and they would contact the drivers for feedback. Till this day, I have not heard back on the follow up on my desk, still waiting for the claims on the broken cabinet and will never use them ever again!! read more

PLEASE DO NOT HIRE THESE MOVERS. I just had a move on wed May 28th. with Mike and Mike from advantahe movers out of Bristol CT. The business manager or owner is a guy called Greg. They packed my 85in flatscreen into my couch and packed all of my items and boxes around it so of course it was destroyed. Upon sending them an email about my property damage, I've been ghosted. No answered phone calls and no word from these movers. Of course they refuse to pay for my TV that they destroyed as well as my glass mirrors and other glass items they destroyed. They beat up the walls of my apartment, left deep scratched and holes in the walls, broke off a door stop for the apartment and overall left a huge additional bill. Mike and Mike were my movers, and their boss Greg is a weasel. This is company very good at lying and taking your money. I will never again in my life use this service or those guys. Please take my warning and stay away. read more

An appointment schedule for 2plus weeks and they texted us 45 minutes before they were supposed to be there saying they cancelled.

I wanted to share my frustrating experience with CT Movers and to warn others who might be considering their services. Unfortunately, what I hoped would be a smooth move across town turned into constant phone calls and "insurance claims". The lack of care and packaging for my furniture was apparent. Their resolution to the problem was to file an insurance claim to resolve any issues. During the move our executive office desk was damaged and the entire top was ruined with 8 deep abrasions and a damaged corner. They tipped it on its side and put dresser legs against it which scratched the top while it was moving in the truck. While moving items out of my old house they dented the wall on the stairs as well. I noticed the damage to the desk while they were taking it off the truck and the "lead" mover told me not to worry about it and that I could put in an insurance claim to get the damage repaired. He took pictures of the damage which luckily, I had him send to me. I reconfirmed this with him when they finished the work and I was advised it would be taken care of and not to worry. All they seemed to care about was my credit card payment. I did not make an issue of the drywall dent as I was able to fix it myself, but the damaged desk was a problem. I filed the claim a couple days after I settled in with the email they issued me. It was only after I kept calling and emailing them (approx. 3 times) that I was contacted and advised that a check would be issued and it was in the mail. Be careful on how their "insurance claims" are reimbursed. This is what I found out when they gave me a $75.00 check for ruining my executive desk. They reimburse you $.60 per pound. So they claimed my executive desk top weighs only 45 lbs. which is ridiculous. I called them and advised the owner of "CT Movers" (I believe Greg C.) that the cost to repair the damaged desk was estimated at $250.00 to $300.00 to which he agreed to send another check for $125.00. I agreed to the terms at that point and just wanted this resolved. He again advised me the check was in the mail. That was 3 months ago. I have called numerous times in between just to be told that the check was in the mail. For the last month my calls and emails have gone unanswered. Their communication was very inconsistent after the move was completed and while trying to address the damage incurred to my furniture during the move. Calls and emails went unanswered leaving me in the dark as to the status of the claim. I expected better from a company that claims to prioritize customer service. The move was already stressful and the lack of responsiveness was disappointing. At the end of the day, I would not recommend them for your move and consider another option. read more

Greg promised and charged me for three movers to move a heavy cast iron tub. Only two showed up. With the help from myself and another friend we eventually got the job done. In the process of the move, one of the workers suffered two cuts... read more

Move took place 8/2/23 Folding desk legs torn out completely and partial board damaged beyond repair. White bar chairs marked up and scuffed. White bar table marked up and table top is scratched across the length of the table. Dresser top gashed along entire length of the dresser. TV stand marked up and scratched. Coffee table legs split and unable to be repaired. iPhone wireless charger not returned. Moving blankets not even taken out of package, stacked on top of couches Truck was so haphazardly packed that we were unable to fit everything from our one bedroom apartment into the truck requiring us to take multiple trips in our cars. Greg promised he would put in a claim, ignores all phone calls - ignores all emails. I contacted the BBB, he lied to them that I did not pay the invoice in full - I did was not aware of all the damage in till the truck was unload. DONOT USE THIS COMPNY read more

Move took place 2/28/2024 from New Britain To Farmington Ct. Two pieces of furniture were damaged and three pieces scratched. The movers were not professional and did not use furniture blankets. I filed a claim for damages twice no reponse. I have called many time and nothing has been done on my claim. Doesnt look like company has any liability insurance and ignore you after payment. There is no advantage to using this company go with a company with rspect for their customers. read more

DISADVANTAGE is more like it. Bryan/Brian/Bryon (don't ask him he won't tell you how to spell it) was incredibly rude from the start. He kept speaking how Greg the owner just wants money and that the workers aren't prepared for anything or have the right equipment. Chris (I believe was his name, new to the company) was so kind and made up for how B man was. He just started this job and was super nice and optimistic, and kept apologizing for the other guy. (Good luck finishing your degree!!) They came into my one bedroom apartment being told that they were expecting a studio and that they didn't have a big enough truck and they would need to make two trips. I'm trying to leave town ASAP- so fine. They very inefficiently packed the truck and there was a ton of empty space, where if packed right we truly could've gotten most of the job done. On top of showing up 3 hours late, saying they were lost because they don't have charged phones and Greg won't fix anything- so it's his fault their phones won't work and that they were lost for an hour and a half. We had to bring back my couch as it didn't fit in my storage, and they were on us about tips. They dropped my couch multiple times so I just had them leave it in my hallway. B man was pressed for everything on his day but not pressed enough to bum cigs off my mom. If you have anxiety or care about your things- pay the extra money for a different service and save yourself the suffering. Thank you to Two Men and a Truck who will be helping us fix all of this in the morning! read more

"Beware"Do not use (Advantage moving) Ct , they broke my tv & furniture and left the stuff outside. Owner does not care he over works the teenagers as per workers and was told by owner Greg to take everything out truck and leave it outside that's the way they do business scamming people trying to take your money after it's all messed up and left outside. they don't even cover with protective sheets they threw stuff around not even secured they put chair on tv who does that? They where speeding and disappear for hours not knowing I was right next to them. Company won't pay for damages. I paid what was agreed on and Greg owner wanted to raise it more. I had to move my own furniture they left outside and not Pay me for the damages they did when they moved it In Truck. I shouldn't even had to pay $200 that's what I agreed on. And I paid it. Horrible ownership. read more

I only had to move a few pieces of furniture and about 20 boxes from my second-floor condo to my new house. (My son will still live in the condo and needed furniture; my boyfriend had plenty of other furniture.) Contracted for two guys. Three showed up! I was a bit concerned about the price differential, especially because I knew we'd be under the 3-hour minimum. After they unloaded all my stuff at the house, the guy who seemed to be in charge called his boss and got the OK to charge me only what I was quoted. They were quick, courteous, and respectful of my stuff - two of my furniture items were made by relatives and thus have a lot of sentimental value. read more

Greg the owner... nice guy and will answer your calls until he's paid. Once he's paid and you notice your furniture was damaged he will not and won't respond. I was told I'd hear from the insurance in 3-7 business days due to my $3,000 bed being destroyed and some smaller items broken and it's been almost a month and I haven't had one phone call, text or email returned from Greg or the insurance company. This place is a scam, they don't care about your belongings. They forgot screws to put my bed frame back together at the house I was moving out of so I had to drive 45 minutes to go get them and then put my bed together myself. They also didn't know how to put my sons bed frame back together because "they forgot what screws go to what" Not to mention the moving truck broke down in the middle of the road in my neighborhood, the 3 guys that came to move were high and smelled like they just bathed in weed and that's definitely not something you want in your house around your children. read more

On July 28th, I hired Advantage to move furniture for me. The workers were inexperienced. My furniture was damaged and the legs on my couch was misplaced and I was very dissatisfied with the service I received and would not recommend them to anyone else. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY- The so called movers showed up to my house high and smelling like weed. they ruined several pieces of my furniture and broke a door to my new condo. they didn't have the correct tools to disassemble my bed. I had to go out and BUY the correct tools and they still didn't put the bed back together correctly!! i was charged double of my original quote. the workers moved in slow motion and basically moved one box at a time. when I tried to contact the owner Greg about the horrific job his employees did, I was told that a claim was in place. he lied about the claim and then ignored all my calls and emails!! he is a liar. I never did get reimbursed for my damaged furniture as no claim was filed. What should have been a happy day moving to my new condo was a ruined by this company and the employees! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! read more

That moved my daughter on 03/31/22 and they were careless, incompetent and rude! They broke her chair she uses for work. Also, she put fragile on boxes and they were rough with them and broke items in them. They also put a whole in a wall. On top of it they kept mentioning a tip. That is not business like at all. I wouldn't have given them a damn thing! Do not recommend them at all! read more

Worst moving company I have ever worked with. Day 1: Quoted $119.00 per hour. 2 workers showed up with a small truck. One worker fell and hurt his knee, only delivered a few items to storage. Charged almost $400.00. Day 2: 3 workers showed up with a small truck. Was told the cost would now be $149.00 because Greg, the owner, sent 3 men, not at my request. Would not honor the original quote and I did not have time to get a new moving company to move my belongings. This charge was almost $800.00. Because the "moving truck" was so small they would have had to make 2 trips, which would extend the amount of time a normal move would take. This company is totally unreliable and Greg, in my opinion, is a crook! read more

I never actually got moved because they showed up with to small a truck the boss put down that I only had 6 boxes when I had said 6 rooms of boxes and a shed and garage. Who has 6 boxes in a 6 room house. his guys were great and tried to make it right but their boss wouldn't let them I had to move today and had called a month ahead of time. Good thing there are other reliable moving companies around read more

SCAM don't let the low estimate fool you. Gave an estimate with 2 men for a small one bedroom apartment for 119 per hour 3 showed up and charged 149 per hour plus an extra hour for their travel time from their business to my apartment at 149 an hour Ended up costing 212 more than the original estimate and they were a half hour late. I should have read the reviews on yelp first seems like this is a common practice for them. read more

First of all, I did not hire this company directly, but had inadvertently hired them thru " Hire A Helper." Had I read any reviews, I would have never proceeded with having them come to my home. Then arrived with a truck, much too small for the move, and proceeded t tell me I only paid for 2 hours....and that an additional amount of "probably $5000.00 dollars will be needed." " You scheduled a truck way to small". " No worries, I'll work with you "..At least 4 times the lead mover said that gratuities are appreciated in cash. The contract was for 4 hours, the lead mover, E, said they could not go back to my original location after the first drop. He told me that the contract was for not only 2 hours, but for a one room apartment with no boxes. Obviously, this type of individual knows that this is a very stressful time, and is used to taking advantage. E had a very strong interest in a large container of change I had in the house, and although I told him to leave it where it was, he was very verbal with" I'll move it, I'll help with it, boy this is a lot of money, etc." At the end of the move, half of the jar was empty, but he had nicely taped the remaining coin in the container. I also had an almost full bottle of Patron Silver disappear. God knows what else he stole that I am not aware of yet !! I do not believe the other 2 movers were involved in this theft, only the most vocal, lead mover. Wonder if they are aware that a crime like this, on seniors, is considered a felony? My son called the owner of Advantage, but he did not believe anything my son said. I am trying to reach out to "Hire A Helper", to make sure they realize the type of business they are endorsing. I had to hire a completely different moving company......and had I known Advantage was what "HireAHelper" was using, and checked their reviews, I would have never proceeded with this contract. "Fully Licensed and Insured" is what their card says...........against what I might wonder, because taking advantage of people in a vulnerable time in their life, and blatantly stealing from those same people, is not only horrific, but speaks to the type of individual Advantage Moving has working for them !!!! Never, Never, Never, hire this company to help you with your move.........you will not only be more stressed, but will be stolen from & lied to!!!!! read more

Terrible from the start the workers will try to extort you for money from the time they pull in....there's no quality w this company, it's all numbers just get anyone there no matter what it takes "u need 3 guys ( what I ordered) I'll send two then the dude I get in a blow out w in driveway over him thinking he was gonna extort from the start wrong house buddy....,maybe this is a tip that the owner should be passing forward,how about you feel your situation out before you go blasting w some stupid shit talking about working harder for money on the side....get out of here...THIS COMPANY IS TRASH....they plaid w the wrong 1...if I could put ZERO stars I would read more

Advantage Moving - Most unprofessional company out there..... - Movers Near Me - Plainville, Connecticut

should be called "take advantage" moving. they showed up over two hours late. was supposed to get two guys for $119/hour. he sent 3 guys for $145/hour (3 hour minimum) Not what I asked for but that is what showed up and I needed to be out of my current apartment. they were done in a little over two hours but I had to pay for three hours and also the higher $145/hour travel time. two guys could have done the job. They also wrecked a $129 filing cabinet and put it backwards up against the wall so it wouldn't be noticed while they were there. when I called to complain I was told to file a claim with their insurance and he would also look into a partial credit. after following up three times I got a check in the mail for $37 that said by cashing the check all claims were settled! that includes everything?! and he never even responded to my last two emails!! NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!!! read more

My girlfriend ordered Advantage for her move out of a two bedroom townhouse. Everything was done over the phone in regards to the assessment which was a little weird since they were coming sight unseen. She double checked that one truck would be enough and was assured it was. Fast forward to moving day and they showed up with a 16 foot truck! Owner suggested either they did two trips or bring a 26 foot truck the next day. Offered no discount on price or help in appeasing the situation. We canceled the move with a Advantage and booked another company. Don't use Advantage. read more

Not trustworthy! Although we gave them a complete inventory BEFORE the move, they showed up with a truck too small for one load. Instead of getting their bigger truck and make one trip to our new home, they refused and used one truck for two trips costing us much more. The men kept hinting for a tip and like a fool I gave them one but got a weird look and no thanks. I felt pressured into giving them extra money. Furniture had minor scratches but some pieces were left on the lawn as were our plants. They reconnected our washer and dryer. However, they dropped a washer not placed in the hose. Unknown to me we opened the water and got a flood. Dyer hose was not attached properly either. All I got was an argument from their manager when I reported these items. We are seniors and money is tight. I feel we were taken "advantage" of by this company.My advice, DON'T USE THESE CLOWNS read more

If I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would. BEWARE of this company - I wish I had done my research prior to hiring them. Loading up they were phenomenal - unloading I noticed they gauged and scratched my dining room table and then witnessed a metal bedframe piece being dragged across my newly refinished antique hardwood floors. They tore up door frames with furniture and damaged every hardwood floor in my newly purchased home. The owner's response to my email was that I yelled at and degraded his crew. I bought them all donuts and coffee for breakfast, pizzas for lunch and offered them snacks and brought them cold, bottled waters throughout the entire move. Even after one of the crew members that broke one of my tables said "it was a piece of sh*t anyways" I remained calm. I am blown away by the lack of accountability and zero respect for their customers. The supervisor on the job was great, going behind the other 3 and telling them to pick up the furniture that you can't drag and drop it, trying to fix the broken shelf and signs & I thanked him countless times. I am so disgusted with this company and the owners lack of concern for the damages caused to my home. read more

This is the worst company ever!! They broke two bookcases. Furthermore, they were not able to bring my regular size box springs upstairs. After much stress that I wouldn't have a place to sleep I called over two friends who were able to bring it upstairs in less than a minute. In the words of my friend "your movers suck". Also, I must of asked them 10 times to make sure the crib was put back together because it was past my babies bed time and she was exhausted. Not only did they not put it together, they started putting it together the wrong way and then just left it for me to take apart and put back together. Problem was they lost some of the screws. I had to call someone and pay them to come asap so that I could put my baby to sleep. Another problem- I went down to do laundry today and I put in a load in the washing machine. Luckily I forgot something downstairs and had to go get it and saw that the machine was leaking EVERYWHERE!!! I quickly shut off the water and was able to clean up the water in about an hour but currently the machine is unusable and I REALLY hope we won't have any long term water damage. Also, they had taken apart the dryer and when I had someone come look at it, it was put together totally wrong and I had to pay someone to come put that back together and it's still missing a few screws that they lost. They also lost a piece in one of my other bookcases which I currently can't use one of the shelves because of. Don't use this company if you want a pleasant experience! read more

If I could give this company zero stars, I would. Two guys showed up to help my boyfriend move his already packed boxes. A third guy finally showed up but barely did a thing.. everyone complained the whole time how they had to hurry up so they could move on to their next job. So they completely rushed, ruining about 1/3 of my boyfriend's things. A cabinet, an end table, a queen size headboard, several boxes of papers & books (seemed like they were dropped and thrown back into the boxes) ALL ruined. I just don't get it. Then when I called to speak to a manager, I was rudely told I'd be called back and here we are with zero calls back. I left another voicemail for a manager but again, that was also ignored. Please don't hire this awful company! read more

I hired this moving service through Hireahelper.com. I was arranging my move while working out of state and I was very short on time to get everything done. Had I done my research (googled) and seen the other bad reviews, I would have NEVER hired them. Every negative comment is true! They are a complete rip-off! It ended up costing me over $700 to load an ALREADY BOXED AND PACKED one bedroom apartment onto their truck and to unload the things into a storage unit. Not only did one of the movers (Sharif) ask me to help them (which I've never experienced before from a moving service that I'm paying for by the way), but as other reviews state, he right away mentioned tips.....then went further to ask if I can pay the tip in cash "because the owner takes a couple of weeks to give them tips when it's left on the customer's credit card". I have no problem at all with tipping good workers....especially for such strenuous and laborious work! I have always had very good experiences with movers that I've hired via Hireahelper.com up until now. This was a complete disappointment! I felt like they took total "advantage" of the situation I was in and I was so much more stressed from the experience than I should have been! Once everything was loaded into their truck, we were all supposed to head directly to my storage unit. The storage facility is literally 3.6 miles from my apartment building. I arrived there and waited for them for over half an hour! They told me that they stopped at the store! Really??! Meanwhile, I'm paying for the extra hour! Also, I'm pretty certain that whenever I remove my things from the storage unit, there will be damages. They were very careless with how they placed things on the dollies, etc. Moving is always a hassle, but it's just so much better when you can deal with movers who aren't trying to milk the situation! Do NOT hire Advantage Moving! read more

Scheduled a move on September 29,2020. Two guys, on time and not wearing masks. Attempted to move sofa into a room and caused damage to door casing.

I don't recommend. read more

The second time I hired advantage moving and storage in October 2019 I hired two guys. it was one of the worst experiences ever, first thing out of there mouths was we take tips, one guy picked up my furniture and carried it on his back, which ended up breaking one of my nightstands, and every piece of my furniture has scratches, they scratched the hardwood floor in my new place, did not finish putting together my electric fireplace, left parts out, I contacted the manager Greg and he replied with " I'll mail you out a claim form" I waiting two days no claim form, called Greg back he stated " I mailed you a claim form you should get it by Thursday, Thursday came no claim form, I called again and had to leave a message, Greg wasn't about to return my call because he LIED there was no claim form in the mail, this manager GREG is a LIAR!!

Horrible experience...we had so many problems with this company. They tore up the lawn to my new house, they broke an expensive baby gate and a window (didn't mention it...I did a walk through when they left and found the stuff broken), they took a bed frame of fiancee's (I know it was loaded into the truck but now it has disappeared) and one of the employees kept asking for shots of my whiskey and drank while on the job...both my fiance and I called to voice our concerns and complaints but no reply back from the owner...this company will break and damage your stuff and not replace it and steal...beware...very very disorganized as well (didn't have own tools for packing up pieces to tvs, etc)...we hired movers thinking it would be a help for our new home but, it was a nightmare!!! read more

Completely shady and untrustworthy!!! The crew of 3 was very shady. They went through all of my personal belongings. My daughters empty pocketbooks were rummaged through, her piggy bank full of change went missing, a lamp was broken and dresser scratched. Also my husbands missing a Watch from his watch collection although I cannot prove was missing prior to this moving crew being in my home. I called the owner to complain yet all he could do was back his workers. I did call the police where I made a report . They advised me all of their workers did not have clean records. Huge eye opener on that regard...Never again will I have strangers in my home without running a background check first. read more
